It’s certainly an all-ages classic in the making, and the releases so far have been quite fun, inventive and inviting to new readers. It’s somewhat akin to Kazu Kibuishi’s “Explorer” books by way of “Tintin,” and each installment finds Hilda’s curiosity being stirred by some strange new mystery or occurrence in her native land. Thankfully, it turns out that Luke Pearson made it really easy to talk about the latest book, as this is by far the best book in the Hildafolk series yet.įor those unaware, “Hildafolk” is an all-ages series about the adventures of a curious young girl in a world not too far from (but still not quite like) our own. When you’re writing about the fourth volume, though, it becomes difficult to avoid the pitfalls of being an echo chamber of that which was said before it can be tough to say something that truly emphasizes how special or unique the latest book is, rather than relying on boiler plate statements about artistic growth. Whereas most of the graphic novels that I cover here are stand-alone pieces of work, the “Hildafolk” series by Luke Pearson is just that: a recurring series, and a rather consistent in quality one at that. Writing about the new Hilda book was decidedly hard.
